Holocaust Memorial Day Anthology

27 January is the day for everyone to remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, and the millions of people killed by Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur.

27 January marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.

Poetry NI marked Holocaust Memorial Day 2016 with the release of a free online anthology of work by poets throughout the whole of Ireland, reflecting on issues that remain as poignant and as relevant today as ever.

I'm delighted to have a poem of mine included, When I Returned, from my collection Asking for Directions (Doghouse, 2012).
